Temperatures to drop a bit in Phoenix area, at least for couple of days

PHOENIX – When forecasters in Phoenix announce a “cooldown” of summer temperatures under 110 degrees, it’s just about cause to party.

Weather experts said Friday that weekend temperatures would be 108 degrees, down a few notches from the previous days of an excessive watch. The week’s high heat topped out at 114 degrees Wednesday.

OK, yes, we will take 108 degrees in the daytime. But the break, so to speak, will be short-lived. Excessive heat will be back in the Valley early next week.

After one more day of very hot temperatures on Friday…a short break over the weekend…before near-record temperatures return for the early/middle part of next week. Likely will be the end of next week before monsoon moisture returns. #azwxpic.twitter.com/eo0qcJ5Cdf
